My Husband's Gym

My husband's gym, a block away, And which he goes to every day, Was vandalized; an email sent Explained the vandal's sole intent. The locker rooms were crudely marred With swastikas; there was no guard To monitor the locker floor, For there was not a need before. This crime of hate is sad but worse, Within a membership diverse, It's awful knowing there are those Who'd sink to such appalling lows. They'll paint the walls, remove the stains But likely there will be some strains Among the members, wond'ring who's The culprit targeting the Jews.

Blame the man who believes the buck stops everywhere but the Oval Office! Trump believes a nation easily divided is easily conquered (especially with Russian assistance in elections)! Of course, education is really to blame since the culprits do not comprehend that, in the end, they are the ones who must pay for it! Aloha! Rico

Just catch the perpetrator and bring him/her to justice. Trump has nothing to do with it; neither does the school system. Every person is responsible for his/her actions. Catch the culprit and let justice run its course.
